UNITED STATES PATENT Oriana BERNHARD DREYFUS, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

CHENILLE PEN DANT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 344:,570, dated June 29, 1886.

Application filed October 6, 1885. Serial No. 179,162. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, BERNHARD DREYFUS, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Chenille Pendand combination of parts and details, as will be fully described and set forth hereinafter, and then pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures. I Figure 1 is a front view of my improved chenille pendant. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the same. Figs. 4 and 5 show modified forms of the pendant.

The pendant is made of the chenille A of the usual construction, and which is formed into a loop, but the diameter of the chenille increases from the ends of the loop to the center of the same. To the upper smaller end of the pendant the slung rough B and the hanging loop 0 are secured in the usual manner. The drop D is suspended within the pendant by means of the cord E from the top of the pend ant.

Within the pendant-loop I place a stiff or rigid frame, F, of metal, hard rubber, celluloid, stiff paper, or any other suitable ma terial.

frame F, the width of the frame increases from the ends to the center in the same proportion as the diameter of the chenille; but when the chenille has the same diameter throughout, as may sometimes be the case, the width of the frame also remains uniform.

The frame F may be made egg-shaped, as shown, or it may be circular, square, oblong, or it may have any other desired shape, ac cording to the shape of the pendant.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. As an improved article of manufacture, a chenille pendant: consisting of a stiff open frame having a groove or recess in its outer edge, in which groove 01' recess a strand of chenille is placed, the same passing entirely around the said frame and being held in shape by the said frame, the pile-threads of the chenille projecting beyond the planes of both faces of the frame, substantially as herein shown and described.

2. The combination, with a frame increasing in width toward its center, of chenille surrounding the outside of the said frame, substantially as herein shown and described.

3. The combination, with a metal frame grooved on its outside and increasing in width toward its center, of a chenille loop surrounding it, which chenille increases in diameter from the ends toward the center, substantially as herein shown and described.

BERNHARD DREYFUS.
